The rapid succession of Cyclone Fittia and Cyclone Gezani has heightened concern about regional storm activity in the Indian Ocean.

Meteorological agencies report increasingly volatile weather patterns affecting eastern Africa and island nations. After striking Madagascar, Gezani is being monitored as it moves toward the Mozambique Channel, raising concerns in Mozambique.

Regional disaster response systems are being tested by repeated extreme weather events. Experts say stronger coordination between Indian Ocean nations will be necessary to improve forecasting, preparedness, and emergency response capacity.
